    Just wanted to post about "Wes_R" who is a detailer in the GTA and I'm sure some of you are familar with his work. Well I experienced it first hand today!

    all I have to say is WOW I'm not exaggerating. My car looked better then it did when I picked it up brand new from the dealer!!! The paint looked really deep and the BMP really popped. My side mirrors were grey - I gave up on them and was eventually going to get them painted but after Wes buffed them I really couldn't believe they were the originals. I figured with 330,000KM he had his worked cut out I guess not

    I'll post a few panel shots - unfortunately it started to rain so I don't have any of the whole car.

    anyone who knows me I'm very particular with my car trust me when I say you can count on Wes to bring your cars back to life!

    here is his info: (647)999-8499 or wesrobles@gmail.com. give him a call you won't regret it!

    Thanks again Wes extremely happy!

    I just emailed him. The 9 year old TDI I just picked up last week desperately needs some detailing inside and out. Hopefully his rates are decent...

    Whatever the rate trust me it's money well spent
    Then it's just a matter of maintaining

    The quality of Wes's work is about as good as it gets, you'll be hard pressed to find a better guy around. If you want a nickel and dime job go somewhere else.

    Be patient he will get back to you it's the beginning of the summer and things are getting busy...

    I actually booked my appointment 3 months in advance cause I knew the beginning
    Of the summer would be busy. It took some planning on my part cause he keeps the car for 2 days.

    Bump this again for Wes - btw I will require final wash and wax before winter to keep that that safe over the winter.

    People keep asking if my car was repainted - again thanks for a job well done!

    Aren't you glad you took my advice (as well as others) in that other thread?! The funny thing is that a respray probably wouldn't have looked as good. The Audi guys love Wes, he does unquestionably great work.
